IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

It's been a while since I looked at the discussion forum due to lack of time. These days I am concentrating on my English conversation classes. I have 10 students now. Their age: from 60 to 83. They don't make films, but from time to time I show one of my movies with English subtitles on the TV-scre...

The IAC-secretary sent it to me after I had told him I was waiting for it. That was about two weeks ago. His name is David. My friends Mary and Peter Rouillard from Guernsey were surprised to have received three copies, I remember. Apparently quite a lot of things went wrong, David said. He was puzz...

At the Bar in Birmingham Many thanks for your replies, Ned and Michael. But there are also other things that play a role in my decisions for the future. Certainly, not only the rapid technological changes. I'd rather not mention the other things on the forum. Maybe we can talk about them at the bar...

Hybrids Fast forward to the digital age the film amateur is working with equipment capable of delivering very fine image quality... Still cameras are now hybrids for both motion pictures ad stills ... That's what Ned Cordery wrote somewhere. When seeing the still camera on the front page of "F...

I have received it. Many thanks. I like "Film & Video Maker". Can't miss it. Congratulations to the editor, his "staff", the regulars, etc... The contents is very interesting. I also love the Lay Out. The editor wrote in the introduction: "... "Milky Way". This...

One deadline! To be honest... some friends hesitate to attend BIAFF. The reason: the judging system. I know we have already talked about this, but now there is one deadline: 31st December. One month earlier than before. Perhaps there will be less entries. But there will be more time for the organiz...

Dear Martin,
Up to now I have received not received the August issue.
I am patient, you know, but it is just to inform you.
And I am an overseas member of the IAC.

I have already bought a parachute for my first flight after 10-15 years. Last night I had a chat with Werner Haegeman. I am almost sure he will come together with his neighbour. Vera and I would like him to accompany us. In 2022 he was in Birmingham. Hopefully I can complete my film. I have already ...

It is always easy to understand Ken's messages and articles in "Film and Video Magazine". I always look forward to reading them. His style is simple. I like that. He also has the courage to tell us what he thinks. Vera and I went to our first "BIAFF" in 1998. It was in Buxton. We...

I think that all clubs are shrinking. Also in Belgium, Dave. Some days ago I started to write an article about my two clubs for "Film and Video Maker". I hope the editor will accept it for one of the coming issues. Club number one: It's not far. About 5 miles from my house. But of course I...

"Danny's Red Box" [/color] Congratulations, Michael! Your film was given 4 Stars at BIAFF last year, but it was awarded "Best Documentary" at a Professional Festival now. It is one of the films I will never forget. In the documentary Danny has a nice chat with passers-by at his ...

I attended UNICA three times: at Blankenberghe (Belgium), Zeist (The Netherlands) and Dortmund (Germany). Dortmund was certainly number one. The venue used to be a colliery. It closed down in 1966. Three years later it was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international im...

"We all have different views and opinions. We have different experiences, likes and dislikes, prejudices and more." These are wise words by Tomas Hardwick on this forum. I appreciate your opinion, John. Some weeks ago I sent an article about "The Milky Way" to the editor of &quo...

"Milky Way", film made by my friend Werner Haegeman, received 3 stars. That was quite a surprise. It received a score of 18 out of 20 at the "Belgian Festival". There is not much difference between the comments written by the BIAFF-judges and the comments written by the "Bre...

Yes, you are right, Jill. FVM has a professional look.
